GroundedDesign is pleased to announce the completion of the Golf Estate Views Villa, an exquisite modern farmhouse situated in the lush surroundings of Jumeirah Golf Estates. This project epitomizes a harmonious blend of modern design and rustic charm, creating a unique and inviting family home.
Project Description
Golf Estate Views Villa welcomes visitors with a grand glass atrium, allowing natural light to flood the space and creating an immediate sense of tranquillity. The interior is designed with neutral tones, combining modern aesthetics with rustic elements to provide a calming retreat for its residents.
